So says Computerworld's Windows expert, Preston Gralla, who's been testing out the upcoming version of Windows 10 and offered up his thoughts to Executive Editor Ken Mingis.

Gralla hghlighted a trio of changes, including a new and highly useful Timeline feature, some tweaks to MIcrosoft's Edge browser and a purported effort by Microsoft to allow users to see what telemetry it collects. That last one, Gralla said, is largely a bust.

Although Microsoft made a big show of unveiling the "Diagnostic Data Viewer" in Windows 10, Gralla said it doesn't offer granular control over what is shared with the developer – and users will have a hard time deciphering what that data is anyway.

The two also talked about "Near Share," the new feature that allows users to share files between devices, and the future of Cortana, Microsoft's take on a voice-activated assistant.
